Before installing the hob, make sure that
•
The work surface is heat-resistant, square and level and no structural members interfere
with space requirements.
•
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven should have a built-in cooling fan. The
two appliances should be connected to the electrical supply with independent connections.
•
The cooktop cannot be installed directly above cooling equipment, dishwasher or clothes
dryers as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronic system.
•
There is adequate air flow for the cooktop to fully function – the base of the cooktop must
have direct unrestricted ventilation to the room where the cooktop is installed.
•
To use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
surrounding the hob.
•
If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is
installed below the base of the hob.
•
The installation shall comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and
regulations.
•
An approved isolating switch providing full disconnection from the main power supply is
incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local
wiring rules and regulations.
•
The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.
•
To consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
